Choose the expression or word which best complete each sentence:
If he had left home earlier, he .... late
would not be
would have not be
would not been
would have been not
would not have been
Explicació
The correct option is ''would not have been''.
Would is a conditional mood. “Have + been” marks the past tense. As you may know, conditional grammar expresses an idea that is not real. It didn't happen
From the above statement, we can see that ,he didn't leave earlier, so he arrived late at his destination.
